While vanilla is obviously the most important flavor in these cookies, we suggest nutmeg and almond extract, as well. Nutmeg will give the cookies a distinctive, old-fashioned "sugar cookie taste." And we feel a small amount of almond highlights vanilla's flavor, without adding any flavor of its own. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt to blend. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat butter, vanilla, and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy.
